Converting my dad’s old windows box into a backup server that I can put into my mom‘s basement as an off site backup. Its like 15 years old but only has to run sshd for Restic backup via sftp. Connection via Tailscale. Install is fully automated with NixOS. Secrets managed with sops.
Thinking about writing a blog post about all of this. Let me know if there‘s anything in particular you want me to cover.
